Looking for a steady relationship
Dear psychologist,
are Marco, I am writing because only now, at age 46, I decided to look for a woman with which to build something lasting, maybe even a family. However, I am in trouble, I find myself in the awkward and insecure relationships with women, I've always been the opposite, collecting a good number of relationships, but they are always limited to some output, some meeting, which concluded with my escape, at the first hint of his request for something more. I was not interested so far to build something. Now I want to do it though, I think the time has come for me to commit myself more seriously.

Dear Mark,
seems to me a major turning point in your life, but I ask you to linger to reflect on the reasons for this choice. What brought you to this need? This need arises from where? From your words it seems to be a need born of the confrontation with the outside world, with the risk of becoming a pressure that crushes rather than giving life, hence your difficulty in this new role. The social world undeniably influence your mind, then I think it is important for you to understand how the level of this influence and how the intimate desire to build something new. Why then at this time? Stopping to think about what you are looking for in a relationship, what is your real desire, it can help to go in the right direction in finding the person for you, without risking only a paste figurine to an already printed ... but by someone else!
